Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Rebecca Miano has led top government officials
in mourning the passing of Winnie Wanjiru Thegu, the beloved spouse of the Moderator of the 24th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA).
In a heartfelt condolence message, CS Miano described Wanjiru as a woman who served faithfully and left a lasting impact.
“Wanjiru, you served. We are comforted that God has called you home,” wrote Miano on social media. “To our 24th GA Moderator, in this time of sorrow, remember that God promises eternal life and peace. Rest well.”
According to Miano, Wanjiru was so vital in the development of the church especially on Women projects which she spearheaded in various forums.
Wanjiru passed away on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Kenyatta Teaching, Research and Referral Hospital. Her passing has left a deep void not only within her family but also among the PCEA fraternity and the broader faith community across the nation.
The PCEA General Assembly announced a series of services to honor her life. Consolation services will be held from Sunday, May 4, to Tuesday, May 6, at PCEA St. Andrews Church in Nairobi, beginning each day at 4:00 PM. A memorial service is scheduled at the same venue on Wednesday, May 7, at 2:00 PM. The final burial will take place at PCEA Kiamabara Church, Mathaithi Parish in Tumutumu Presbytery, on Thursday, May 8, starting at 10:00 AM.
The church community and national leaders continue to rally around the Moderator’s family during this time of grief. Many have expressed admiration for Wanjiru’s strength, humility, and dedication to ministry.
In the words of Job 1:21, “The Lord gave and He has taken away; may His name be praised.” Wanjiru’s legacy of faith and service will remain etched in the hearts of many.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
